Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 646 - Scheming

Chapter 646: Scheming

Guan Tang seemed to return to her senses at this moment. She smiled and said, “What could I do? Get rid of those who were obstacles, and replace them with those who were obedient.”

Jiahui could not help but feel slightly frightened when she saw the sweet smile on Guan Tang’s face when saying such words.

“During that month when I was sick, I was finally enlightened. Survival is the most important thing. There’s nothing more important than living. Whoever threatens my wellbeing, I’ll make them die a horrible death. I can’t do anything to the masters of the house, but it wasn’t difficult to deal with the servants. I wouldn’t let those who bullied me have a good ending.”

Guan Tang looked at Jiahui proudly and chuckled before she said, “During that period of time, there were servants who fell almost to their deaths; servants who were poisoned until they vomited and had diarrhea; servants who were inexplicably chased by fierce dogs; servants whose thievery was discovered by my aunt. I orchestrated all those things. After all, since no one would protect me, I would have to learn to protect myself.”

Jiahui frowned, puzzled. “Even if you replaced them with new servants, once the new servants learned about your circumstance, wouldn’t they be the same as the old servants?”

Guan Tang smiled scornfully. “Newcomers were naturally easy to manipulate. You have to set the rules from the very beginning. I only had to let them know whose words would influence my aunt. Those who were smart naturally knew what to do.”

Jiahui could not help but nod. “You have a point. You’re quite smart.”

Guan Tang said smugly, “They were just servants; why should I be bullied by them? Growing up was difficult enough as it was with Yin Jia showing off her superiority and arrogance. If it weren’t for my parents passing away, I would’ve also been a high and mighty young miss like her. Since she dared to flaunt her power in front of me, I’d definitely make her pay the price.”

Jiahui was slightly taken aback. “Even if she seems to dislike you, she’s very protective of you.”

Guan Tang looked at Jiahui as though she was looking at an idiot as she said, “Protective of me? You think she’s protective of me! Ha! Someone like you wouldn’t have been able to survive in the Yin family for a month.” She laughed before she said with a sigh, “No, she’s protective of my dowry and the Guan family behind me. She’s protective of Cheng Che. However, it’s all for her own sake. If Cheng Che marries me, he’ll be the son-in-law of the Guan family. With our marriage, the ties between the Guan family and the Yin family will also be stronger. My dowry is quite sizable as well. Cheng Che definitely won’t lose anything by marrying me. This is also why she’s determined to destroy your relationship with Cheng Che. Although your family background isn’t bad and you’re capable, Yin Jia already has her own plans, and she won’t change them easily. Moreover, she feels like she can control me while she’s not confident she’s able to control you.”

Jiahui looked at Guan Tang with a surprised expression.

This seemed to please Guan Tang. “You think it’s complicated, right? In fact, it’s not that complicated. Yin Jia has always been like a mascot of the Yin family. When she was young, a fortune teller said that she was the Yin family’s lucky star. The fortune teller said that with Yin Jia around, the Yin family would definitely prosper. I don’t know if it was true, but the Yin family’s business truly did grow over the past 30 years. For that reason, everyone, including Old Master Yin, doesn’t want her to get married even if they did not explicitly say it. They were half-hearted in arranging her marriage, and my aunt had to shoulder the blame for that. Yin Jia had always been complacent and unbothered about this until she fell in love.”

Guan Tang’s voice suddenly turned frosty as she continued to say, “No one really liked her due to her arrogance and domineering personality. The young masters from the other wealthy families only tolerated her because of her background. In any case, she’s not completely stupid so she was aware of that as well. However, who knew she would meet someone later. The two of them loved each other to death. The other party was even willing to marry into the Yin family for her sake.”
